Default Yes or No?

Hey everyone, lately I've been thinking about getting a nice bodykit for my SC, and this caught my eye:

What do you all think? I personally like it, but how does everyone else feel about it?

I like it. It's the Target Phoenix replica. You would need a huge intercooler to fill that mouth though

Yeah, my Boostlogic kit will be arriving in just mere days with my lovely ARC intercooler I ordered.

Though, I've never seen the Target Phoenix kit, got a link?

I'll try searching it.. it's a SUPER rare kit. I remember one being sold back when I just joined. It's probably easier to find over in Japan. There was one member Roo who had it, his car was effing sick (he turned out to be a bad dude though.. shady ish)

Unfortunately I don't have a front shot.. here's the rear/side. Although that wouldn't really help cuz the replica only has the front that's actually an imitation




edit: eh a lot of the pics in the older threads are gone.

Thanks though dude. It really is beautiful. I like it a whole lot. Since I'm pretty good with body pieces I'll be installing the kit myself, so it's always good to know what's its predecessor/father piece looked like. Thanks again man.

Thanks man. I initially wanted to a GTE swap but decided against it as almost everyone does that. I want to prove the standard GE has a bite all of its own that even makes the GTE pull back in fear. That, and I feel the engine just needs a kick to get its *** movin'!

I live close-by San Francisco, about 45 miles out actually in Danville. I tend to make trip down to SoCal occasionally though. I'll swing by when I'm down next.

Im another person that doesnt rate it. Front look like a chopped up crazy Vertex front. Skirts and rear bar are nice though.

The front is really ugly imo, but I like the rear and sides though. Since you have a 2000 SC, you should do a lip rather than that bumper.

The front bumper WOULD look good if you were running some huge intercooler but I don't know about it with a radiator.

The only kit that looks decent IMO is the AC kit because its so subtle.
